Anyone having issues with the s cover not turning on/of the screen when its flipped. Ive looked everywhere for the setting, but nothing. Was it removed from marshmallow?
I have the S-View Clear Flip Cover, and have no issues with the screen locking/unlocking.

Hey guys, this is extremely bothering. I have an xqisit folio case that also doubles as a stand. Anyways, when I open the case, the screen lights up, and if I open it just ever so slightly, I notice there's this view mode that displays time and battery, the information that shows through the s view cover.
Anyways, I don't own a s view cover nor do I want one. I also don't want the screen to light up when I open the case because that means the screen's not completely off/phone's not completely resting and uses up more battery.
How the hell can I disable this? I've googled and found nothing and also gone through the settings but found nothing there as well.

well i suppose your folio case uses also the magnetic sensor used by the s-view cover to turn the screen on and off.
as this switch was primary implemented for the s-view cover its the default behaviour to show the s-view screen when you close your cover.
afaik there is no mod to change it right now but i hope this "s-view mode" will be customizable in future with the help of our fantastic community devs! :fingers-crossed:
anyway dont worry about the battery consumption too much as the s-view screen is only displayed for about 5 seconds and then the screen turns completely off.

Thanks a lot! Out of thanks for the moment so can't thank you.
I have S view cover.
When the screen is unlocked and you close the cover, it will show the time. If u open it a little, it will still show time. But if you open it till roughly more than 30 degrees, it will either show the lockscreen(for those with passcode/pin etc.) or homescreen(for those with no lock).
When screen is off and you close the cover, it will not show anything. Open the cover alittle, maybe around 20degrees, it will still not show anything.
My flip cover turns off screen when It's flipped to the back on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
It should only turn my screen off when i flip it over the screen and not when i flip it to the back of the tablet.
I've bought two different flipcovers and both does the same for some reason.
Anyone know about this problem and maybe a solution to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello XDA,
I think I discovered a weird feature or a bug when ever you place your S4 on top of a speaker. I have a portable Jam XT soeaker and when I place my phone on top of it, facing up the screen goes black only showing the tine and partial top bar.
Will attach screen shots.
Any Idea what I stumbled upon ?
Heres the screen, new account, sorry.

The S4 has a magnetic sensor which works with the S-View cover.
The magnet in the speaker probably activates the sensor in the phone, thus the phone enters the S-View cover mode.
Hello
I have an official flip cover samsung and sometimes when I open the case the screen does not turn on, but the 2 keys on either side of the home button turns on.
I have to close and open the flap 3/4 times so that the screen lights up.
I moved from mm to nougat but the problem remains the same.
thanks
Anyone knows app working with custom MM (especially RR 5.7.4), which can be used with Flip Cover "designed by Motorola" and works?
Tried few apps from Play Store (Smart Cover, Smart Screen On/Off Auto, Smart Screen On Off (New)) and nothing works...
I would love feature like this. Any idea?
Sensor is OK in CPU-Z and when calling.
EDIT: IntelliCover vibrates when opening/closing cover so it's OK, but still screen doesn't turn on/off...

Have you tried Gravity Screen?
No. Tried it now and it's not made for cover, but still it works exactly same as IntelliCover - vibrates when I close the cover when display is off (when on, vibrations are not triggered) and turns on the screen when I open the cover.
It turns off the disolay, but only when proximity is covered AND display is pointing down....
So it too doesn't turn off the display by itself ONLY when I close the cover...
It's better than nothing that it turn screen on, but would prefer something which works both ways.
Had to change working angle and it works
Thanks
The only problem is tat it's to sensitive...
